Risoul

Evening folks!

Just wondering if any of you skiing geniuses can shed any light on this resort?

Many thanks! :-)

We have skied in Vars (linked resort) many times and are back again in december! Not so keen on the Risoul side but that may be because we have to ski hard to get there and then have to ski back to Vars to pick the kds up from ski school!!! The snow has always been good and there are a mixture of runs so it suits a ariety of levels!

The town seems quite charmless but we have never stayed there long enough! We do however like Vars a lot but it is very much a French resort!

WTSS provides a good review of the place.

Rocketski do a very cheap hotel there. Reasonable amount of skiing to be had.

Spent many happy weeks in Risoul. Great skiing area linked with Vars, good lifts, hardly any queues, great mountain restaurants and when we've been in early Jan, great conditions. Went to ski school there with the friendliest ESF instructors. Stayed in both the Sara residences & club Morgan Hotel (with First Choice then Crystal). Liveliest apres ski was in Les Melezzes but otherwise fairly quiet. The main downside for us, going with a TO, was the transfers - 4hrs or more which is why for the past few years we' ve gone to Austria. Would be very happy going back there though!
